Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with lower risk for several chronic diseases. It is important to validate PA measurement instruments in different populations. The objective was to validate the Minnesota leisure time PA questionnaire among Spanish women.
A cross-sectional study with quota sampling was designed. Two PA groups (active, expending less than 301 MET-min x d(-1) in PA, and very active, expending more than 300 MET-min x d(-1)) and two age groups (18-40 and 41-60 yr) were defined. The Minnesota questionnaire was administered to obtain total energy expenditure in leisure time PA (EEPAtotal) and classified according to the intensity of the different types of PA (EEPAheavy, EEPAmoderate, and EEPAlight). The 250 women recruited performed an exercise test to assess fitness.
Spearman correlation coefficients among EEPAtotal, EEPAheavy, EEPAmoderate, EEPAlight, and fitness were 0.39, 0.51, 0.13, and 0.02, respectively. Multiple linear regression model adjusted by the different EEPAs and age accounted for 46% of fitness variability. Besides age, only EEPAmoderate and EEPAheavy were associated with fitness.
The Spanish version of the Minnesota questionnaire is a valid instrument for measuring leisure time PA performed in the last year in Spanish women aged 18-60 yr. Moderate and heavy physical activity are adequately assessed whereas light physical activity practice assessment may be questionable.
规律的体育活动（PA）与多种慢性病的较低风险相关。在不同人群中验证PA测量工具很重要。目的是在西班牙女性中验证明尼苏达休闲时间PA问卷。
设计了一项采用配额抽样的横断面研究。定义了两个PA组（活跃组，PA中每日能量消耗低于301代谢当量分钟×天⁻¹，以及非常活跃组，每日能量消耗超过300代谢当量分钟×天⁻¹）和两个年龄组（18 - 40岁和41 - 60岁）。发放明尼苏达问卷以获取休闲时间PA的总能量消耗（EEPAtotal），并根据不同类型PA的强度进行分类（EEPAheavy、EEPAmoderate和EEPAlight）。招募的250名女性进行了运动测试以评估体能。
EEPAtotal、EEPAheavy、EEPAmoderate、EEPAlight与体能之间的斯皮尔曼相关系数分别为0.39、0.51、0.13和0.02。由不同的EEPAs和年龄调整的多元线性回归模型解释了46%的体能变异性。除年龄外，只有EEPAmoderate和EEPAheavy与体能相关。
明尼苏达问卷的西班牙语版本是测量18 - 60岁西班牙女性去年进行的休闲时间PA的有效工具。中度和重度体育活动得到了充分评估，而轻度体育活动的评估可能存在问题。
